I ended up getting 'the works'

Repair top seam and rim cracks. Check reglue/replace bracing.
Neck reset, new saddle.
Repair, reglue binding.
Complete re-fret, new nut.
Complete refinish
Reglue bridge, reassemble, setup.


I now have a brand new DV-72 in my possession. I'll have some pics up soon.
She looks amazing!

Absolutely wonderful! The setup is a bit high for my tastes, but she rings and sustains forever!

By the way, was it shipped from Nashville via UPS?

Haha well they did one better. They repaired the horrible endpin damage and it is INVISIBLE! I cannot tell the guitar was ever damaged. These guys really do an excellent job. It only took 10 months! :lol:

Some quick pics from my cell:

I love the way nitro ages. The non-refinished DV-72 I have is such a beautiful natural golden color!

 

[chazmo]

Looks like they did a nice refinish, Jazzy. Congrats. Cool to contrast the two side-by-side like that.

O-O-O-O-h-h--h... Yah I like the way nitro ages too...I think it's a sunlight thing.
